Searching for contacts from calls is annoyingly slow

Confirmed by another user on matrix,

me: anyone notice searching contacts from calls is very very slow, it takes a long time for keys you type to appear on the search field. may be my addressbook is large.

Spherical Triangle: That's a bug that shows up in other apps that use the same libraries for their text fields. The only workaround I know is to type slower. GNOME Weather's city search used to be the best example of the bug, but it may have been fixed there.
